Historical Traveler Reviews Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Town Center
Nice hotel!
We loved everything about this hotel, except that it was located on a very busy road. We heard a lot of traffic noise all night, but that is the only down side to the hotel. It is within walking distance of shops, restaurants and 2 Starbucks!
It had a wonderful pool and whirlpool and the fitness room was small, but adequate and had nice equipment.
We requested a non-smoking room, and the room we were given obviously had been smoked in but the front desk was great about changing us to another room and it was wonderful.
Loved this hotel
One of the best kept secrets in Virginia Beach. The hotel is well located, clean, and has ample parking. Lots of great restaurants in walking distance including Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, The Cheesecake Factory, and P.F. Chang's. Highly reccomended!
New hotel/ bad start
We stayed here the second week it opened. Started out great, friendly and nice check-in, great cookies. Requested non-smoking and when we got to the room...DISASTER. There was a soda bottle in the room with cigarette butts in it. There were used soaps in tub and at sink. Checked bed and sheets were not clean, had been slept on. Apparently, there was no housekeeper to check the cleaning staff, hard to believe in the first week that a room was left dirty and not checked. They did move us to a clean room but was on the street side and very noisy up until about 1am. Breakfast was good though.
Nice new hotel...good stay
I am a HHonors Diamond; stayed on a Tuesday night, arriving at ~9pm.
I was offered an upgrade to a (smoking) Jacuzzi room (I declined) and got 2 bottles of water, a continental breakfast (upgrade to full for $2), and $5 worth of stuff from the pantry. The $5 bought me 2 Diet Cokes and a Hershey bar.
The room was nice; see pix. Hotel was obviously new, and the rooms looked it. The staff was courteous, and the breakfast was pretty good. I'd stay there again (in fact, in a couple months, when I'm back in Norfolk.)
One minor quibble-- you park for free, but spaces are scarce, so you need to walk across the street to the garage. It's a little confusing.
Nice Hotel-Lovely location
My husband and I recently stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn. It is a very nice and new hotel, located in a lovely area. The staff were very cordial while staying there. The room was nicely decorated, including amenities such as a microwave, coffemaker and refrigerator. I like that the pool, fitness room and business center are only accessible with a hotel key.
The location is great. There are several restaurants within walking distance to choose from. A mall is located across the street and the beach (the oceanfront) is only about 8 miles away.
One thing to improve on. Hotel management should make sure each room is cleaned thoroughly between guests. There were some things that were overlooked. Upon arrival, the bathroom floor, the tile around the water control in the bathtub had not been cleaned and the shower lining was dirty. A request was made to do all these things. The shower curtain and lining were changed but I ended up cleaning the floor and the tile myself, as they were never cleaned.
Overall, it is a very nice hotel and we would stay there again.
Will choose this one everytime!
Wonderful Hotel! Convenient location! It was our second time staying there and will choose it first everytime we go to VA beach. Outstanding choices in dining, mall across the street, movie theater and can fit within whatever budget you choose.
We had previously booked in another hotel because we thought it would be better and left that one (the same day) to go to this one. Not an oceanfront hotel but no need because the amenities, care and location more then make up for it. About 8 minutes from the beach so that was enough for us! Family or Couple this is a nice property.
Loved the Hilton garden inn
My husband and I stayed for our Anniversary, the location was great in a newer area, great Restaraunts, across from a Mall w/Movie theater. Hotel only about 7 minutes from the beach. Hotel was well kept, chose the bounceback so Breakfast was included, from continental to made to order omeletes and waffles. Breakfast was delicious. Every need taken care of immediately. Staff friendly and proficient. Hotel has indoor pool and within walking distance to Cheesecake Factory, Ruth Chris Steakhouse, a new Comedy Club, many many restaraunts. Great Location if you do not want to stay on the beach. Normally we stay on the beach every year and prefered the Hilton location because the hotel is new, and we were so close to many restaraunts and shopping.
Great location
I was staying here for a meeting at the hotel. The meeting rooms are really nice & I highly recommend for other events - not just meetings. They had FREE high speed internet in the meeting space & the sleeping rooms, other hotels charge for it. My sleeping room had a frig & microwave which was super since I didn't want to go out to eat every night. I plan on staying here again when I bring my family on vacation. Cheaper rates than the oceanfront plus near movie theaters, a mall, lots of NEW restaurants, & only a few minutes from the oceanfront.
Very Good visit
Just spent 11 nights at the HGI VA Beach.
The hotel is very new and clean. Some of the highlights are:
- Very nice staff.
- Good size rooms.
- FAST elevators.
- Decent breakfeast (make sure you get a Bounce Back rate so it is free).
- Jackie who worked the breakfeast was fantastic. Great way to start the day.
- In Town Center which had a lot of new resturants and book stores etc. walking distance from the hotel.
- Cookies & brownies at the front desk in the afternoon and evening.
Some small things they might work on are:
- Better variety at Breakfeast. Some fish or cheeses.
- Bigger fitness room. Fix the orbital skier machine.
- Maybe have an Hilton Honors floor. Or do something to make Hilton Honors members stand out beyond the two bottles of water.
- Stock the Pantry better.
- Housekeeping while adequate was not great. Very inconsitant on how well the room was cleaned. I seemed to only get the full cleaning (new soap, bed fully made up, ironing board put away) twice while I was there.
- Deliver the USA Today to the rooms. They did this my first week but not the second.
- Fix the dryer vent in the laundry room.
Finally...a place that is not really expensive, not on the oceanfront, and not a dump! I have stayed there 2 times in the past month and I will not go anywhere else! Thanks!

Sweet news Longs; A New Hollywood flick is to be released starring Jeff Daniels and others entitled "Because of Winn Dixie". How's that for brand recognition. You got to love this one. What other companies have their name in the title of a major feature film? thats right, not even coke, msft, intc, pfe, ge. this is great news and as for winnlady, bob and other bashers....you can eat the doggy doodie of the winn dixie pooch in this movie. i truly have bitter hatred for you geezer bashers
Let's see now, I was looking for Walmart's brand name in the title of that movie. It was not there and that flick is 5 years old. It is likely to help out the wmt brand now, you moron
This Dog won�t hunt and has fleas!
Sorry this is pt 1 with pt 2 in the other postJACKSONVILLE -- It might not be the miracle Winn-Dixie Stores Inc. needs to revive its brand, but exposure from an upcoming feature film stacked with big-name stars and emotional moments isn't likely to hurt the ailing Jacksonville grocer. "When people ask how this dog got its name, the answer will have to be there's this store and it, at least at one time, represented these regional values," said Abram Sauer, a New York-based brand analyst for Brandchannel.com. "That's got to be good for Winn-Dixie," Sauer said. "It'll hammer [the name] into the minds of potential customers." It would be difficult to contemplate how a film about the friendship between a little girl and her dog, named Winn-Dixie for the store where she found it, could further damage the 65-year-old company, which ended its fiscal year June 30 with a $100 million loss, posted a $153.1 million loss for its most recent fiscal quarter ended Sept. 22 and changed CEOs seven months after launching its latest turnaround plan. "Because of Winn-Dixie" is a feature film based on an award-winning children's book of the same name by Kate DiCamillo. Its story line is as warm and fuzzy as it gets: a lovable abandoned dog adopted by a lonely 10-year-old girl -- whose only wish is "for a friend" -- charms a small Florida town and helps her fit in. The "friend" materializes in the produce aisle of a Winn-Dixie store, when the girl makes a snap decision to claim the pooch as it wreaks fun-loving havoc inside the store. Even the movie's tagline could refer to a potential brand boost for the grocer: "Discover what happens when you go looking for a miracle and a miracle comes looking for you." Rising child star AnnaSophia Robb gives the recipient of the miracle a face as Opal, while familiar box office faces, including Jeff Daniels, Cicely Tyson and Eva Marie Saint, make up the list of costars. Pop singer Dave Matthews makes his acting debut, a draw that has had fans loading message boards with speculation on his performance in the trailer. Director Wayne Wang tops off the movie's appeal with such resume credits as "The Joy Luck Club" and "Maid in Manhattan."
Although Winn-Dixie won't see any revenue from the film, it will reap the benefit of exposure through a multitude of promotional venues that will keep its name in nearly constant circulation, including a permanent place in homes on DVD and video. Winn-Dixie spokeswoman Joanne Gage said the company sold the book in stores when it came out in 2000, and learned about plans to make it a feature film nearly two years ago. After reading the script, Winn-Dixie agreed to let 20th Century Fox film inside the circa 1967 Donaldsonville, La., store and use the company's name in the film, Gage said. As for the exposure Winn-Dixie would have paid for under other circumstances, Gage said she couldn't put a dollar figure on it. "I would say you can't buy publicity like that," said Gage, vice president of advertising and marketing. "We felt it was in our best interest to work with [20th Century Fox] and do the promotion rather than worry about charging them for the store. "We probably lost some revenue by closing the store for some periods of time, but it was never about the money. It's a beautiful story and it's nice because [the book] makes Winn-Dixie a household name. Having a movie made about it is even better." The marriage of a film and a brand name or product is nothing new in entertainment, and is a viable positioning vehicle that opens an unparalleled door for consumer exposure, Sauer said. Because product positioning has grown into "a Wild West game where people pay millions," Sauer said it's impossible to estimate what Winn-Dixie might have paid for such advertising. And though he doesn't see the movie as packing enough promotional power to save Winn-Dixie's brand, Sauer does credit the grocery chain for maximizing the exposure through ties to its customer reward card. The company has established thresholds shoppers can reach with their grocery bill to receive movie tickets, a copy of the book and a plush dog. "It's really important that they're doing that because it maximizes the benefit, and that's really what you're looking for," Sauer said. "It's probably a win-win, but it does depend on how much mileage you can get out of it. This is a chance for Winn-Dixie to improve its image for close to free."

Product Description
From Library Journal
This authoritative compendium of North American poisonous snakes and lizards is organized by individual species. Each section contains the individual reptile's geographic distribution and provides condensed information on its ecological role, behavior, feeding, and reproduction, as well as reports of human envenomations. Also included are a range map, photographs, and descriptions of regional morphological variations and related recognized subspecies. This book contains an accurate specimen identification key for the species it covers, but most other information may be found elsewhere. Narrow in scope, yet heavily footnoted and crammed with technical information on karyotypes, scale patterns, and fossil records, this book will appeal only to advanced lay or professional herpetologists seeking a one-stop source. Recommended for academic collections.

In Tennessee, some offbeat relgious zealots use rattlesnakes in church services called 'handling them." There is no way to 'handle' a snake except in a zoo where they are restrained from getting out among the public.
There are more copperheads in this area; could be that is the reason that moniker was given to Southern sympathizers during the American Civil War. Its head glows in the sun which automatically alerts the victim that it is a copperhead. It is swift and dangerous when it chooses its prey. I was taken on a trail in the Smokies by a weird 'friend' to see if I would be afraid of the bears. A female teacher had been killed on that trail by a bear when her companion went on ahead and she could not defend herself. All along the trail after we reached the peak and was away from the water, I kept hearing stirrings off in the branches. Finally, I told her I felt I had gone far enough. We had not reached the death scene which was on the plateau. At the beginning of this first trail walking, I had told her that I am very much afraid of snakes. She swore we would not see one. Because of my balance problem, I insisted on walking on the left down the hill away from the deep drop off to the water. I can't swim and I didn't want any broken bones. Halfway down the hill, I saw something sliver and shine in the sunlight (and my eyes are not good), and I asked her what that could be. She scooted out of the way in a hurry and changed places with me after that so that I would be near the water. She matter-of-factly said that it was a copperhead and would have bit her if I hadn't seen it. She once said that she is a 'reptile' as it takes her four hours to put her makeup on before she will leave her apartment. Coming from Hawaii to Florida before finding her 'place' here in the Smoky Mountains, I have often wondered which species.

Carbon nanotubes, especially the ones with diameters of the order of a few nanometers exhibit correlated electron transport and are best described using the Tomanaga Luttinger liquid model. Recently the TL model was used to create a convenient transmission line like phenomenological model for carbon nanotubes. In this paper, we have attempted to quantify the quantum capacitances of individual metallic single walled carbon nanotubes and bundles of single walled tubes. Quantum capacitances and values of the interaction parameter `g' are presented for small diameter metallic nanotubes while quantum capacitances are calculated for bundles of carbon nanotubes.

This book is a must for all WoT fans. It fills in so many holes that the books leave with history and how the world was made and runs. This book gives you a much better understanding of the world that Robert Jordan has created and just shows the depth and enormity of his creation. It proves that Robert Jordan spent a lot of time on this series. For those of you who critize it because of illustrations i must say...that is not what the book is for. If you want pictures...read a childs book. Robert Jordan and many other auther's write so that you use your own imagination to create your own mental picture of characters and places. If you are unable to use your own imaginations then you probably should stick to your childhood picture books. Sorry for my speel...anyways...its a great book, it was easy and enjoyable to read and very informative...a must have.
This book is a must have!! It gives you details on some of the Chosen that you don¿t get in the book. It is also nice to be able to compare your ideas of what someone looks like or a what creature looks like to that of the illustrator.
This is a great book for the Robert Jordan fan or a perfect guide for the aspiring world-builder.
Avid fans like myself will want this book for the information in it--it was really enlightening about the history of the world. However, as other reviewers have said, don't buy this book for the art. I agree with the earlier reviewer who said te Myrddral isn't scary at all, but the portrait of Loial may well haunt my nightmares for a while.
If you are like me, stories such as Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time are more of an adventure then just something you read. With that in mind, The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time is a perfect companion to help the reader become more immersed in this adventure. I've found myself constantly referring to this book for details on something read in the series. I would highly recommend this book if you enjoy the series.
Jordon creates his world and keeps the reader's interest as he weaves plots on plots and stories in stories as he moves forward to the unknown . . .
This book is full of great explanatory information but be forewarned: 1) if you haven't read deep into the series, there are going to be plot spoilers, and 2) most of the illustrations are horribly amateurish! Whatever other reviewers have said, there is NO excuse for that!
When I saw this book in B&N, I wanted to read it to hopefully find out more about the history of the WoT series. Instead, I found that there weren't enough details about some components of the story (the Seanchan), while there was too much information about others (the Whitecloaks, etc.). The artwork was nothing to what I had imagined. Overall, this book is alright at best.
It`s a must have for WOT readers but fell short on the art side. I kind of expected more like it in the great book covers. For those of you who fell like me, check the art of Sarah Ellerton at {www.arts-angel.com} she`s a talented artist.
I bought this book hoping that the images of the characters and history would help me to imagine the happenings in the books. I was very disappointed. The images of the characters and of eventful scenes are childish at best and seem to have been done in watercolor. The history is okay, but only parts are intriguing. I must emphasize my disappoinment at the images. I knew the cover art of the books could use some work, but these pictures make them seem photographs. Awful.
The book was indeed very informative. I didn't even know that this book existed until I saw it on my computer. It gave me a full understanding of the world of Robert JOrdan. Although,I'm not complaining or anything,but the illustrations were nothing close to what I thought they looked like. But there is a lot of useful information in this book that you won't get in the series. The illustrations on the creatures weren't so bad though. The Myrdral looked cool enough though. I didn't picture Brigget or Nynaeve, or Mat, or any of them for that matter, the way that they were drawn. But it is a really good book that will explain a lot and give some good details about certain areas you have trouble with.
It ties up a lot of loose ends with the differant civilizations exspecialy the Aiel and seafolk. The book also gives a lot of history you can't get anywhere else, or is only hinted at. Any WoT fan will like this book.
If you're seeking to put faces with names, this is not the volume to do it with. I would have expected the quality of the illustrations to rival the jackets of the books, and they fall far short. The text, however, gives a fairly complete explanation of the ages, societies, regions and practices that are depicted within the series, and make for a fairly good reference if you are just getting back into the series after an hiatus. I think that we may be able to get a better virtual scene if the characters involved appeared on high quality trading cards. Butt, I believe that the illustrator of this book did not read the entire series prior to embarking on drawing the characters and other scenes. In other words, I don't believe that adequate research was done to produce true depictions of images within this series. JMHO, I'm just another reader and follower of the Wheel of Time series with a livid imagination... ;-D

It's been a positive start to the FA Women's Premier League South for the ladies with a win against Chesham and only a last-minute goal denying a victory against a Charlton side expected to challenge for honours last weekend.
Now they face the other side of the coin with newly-promoted Keynsham suffering 4-0 and 6-3 defeats in their first two matches.
However, with all her experience, manager Karen Hills will drill it into her squad that they face a tricky encounter.
"They play on a 3G pitch, so that's something different and it's a long trip for us," said Karen.
"They are a physical team, always strong and they will have a point to prove after those first two results.
"I'm sure they will be determined to put things right as soon as possible and that's something we have to be aware of.
"I've been delighted with our start to the season, the players have showed a fantastic attitude and we'll take that to Keynsham on Sunday, show them plenty of respect and try to come back with a positive result."

I have been teaching college English and writing for over 7 years. I love what I do because the students make it both fun and challenging for me everyday I walk into that classroom. Although I have been teaching at the college level for the past 7 years, I also have recent experience tutoring elementary and middle school aged students in both reading and writing skills. Additionally, I have several years of substitute teaching experience at the K-12 levels and worked with Disability Support Services as a graduate assistant while attending Graduate School to attain my Master's Degree in English. As described by some of my experience, I love the learning process and always look forward to guiding and/or tutoring new students in order to enhance both their skill level and confidence level as well. Looking forward to being challenged as an educator is something that has always inspired me to learn more about my students and the skills that I am facilitating. At times, my students guide me more than I guide them because part of my job is to listen to what's not being said so I can better do my job in instructing the student on what comes next and/or what the student may need more focusing on.
I can say this with honesty: I have a passion for what I do and enjoy using this asset to enrich the lives of my students depending on what his/her goals may be. Depending on the skill and age level, of course, I aim to make my students more aware of what they need to work on so they may use the skills they have learned confidently outside of tutoring and apply them to the classroom.

Once a very famous fast food chain now not many people know of it, closed down alot of branches and too expensive :)
I remember a time back when Steers was the place to be. It was the in place while we were kids. Sadly not any more..... With the arrival of the modern cafe/diners (see Nairobi Java House, Dormans and other cafes;all mimicking NJH's fashionable décor, I must add) Steers has fallen out of favour of many of us. To begin with, Steers décor needs an uplift....move with the times people!!!! Their décor is cheap and outdated...Great ambiance makes us customers willing to pay more for food.....without a grumble, the more posh a place looks the more we believe and sometimes accept the food will cost. Secondly, though their food looks great on the menu, it doesn't taste as good on the palate. I had a grilled chicken and medium chips.....the chicken was tough and not fresh, it was as if it was yesterday's chicken rewarmed for me to eat!!! The chips were dry and unpalatable. Totally uncool.... My friend had passion juice which tasted like crap...... we complained to the staff who were willing to explain to us what we think was unexplainable....their standards have gone down....What's happening Steers?????
if u r looking to satisfy your inner JUNKy i would strongly advise you go for something else other than the steers, muindi mbingu street, nairobi to be exact. again i am kenyan and therefore there would be no room for hating on my own but this place has absolutely crappy food. and for the price also, i think galitos etc are a far better choice. i had lunch yesterday so it is still very fresh. no no no
I totally enjoyed their beef burgers and french fries, however there was a power black out and the order was quite delayed. I guess they should invest in a generator. They also open at 9.00am so if one is interested in an early breakfast then Steers is not the option.
Steers is a chain of fast food burger restaurants in several African countries, We ate at 2 or 3 in Nairobi. Service is good as is the food. Since there are no McDonalds, Whataburger, or other American chains there, Steers is the obvious choice.

Heart Attacks in Middle-Aged Women: Lower Your Risk
Relax and Say 'Om'
If you have trouble keeping stress at bay, you can't beat transcendental meditation, Steinbaum says. This is a way to calm the mind by repeating a word or string of words over and over. And you don't have to go to a class. You can even download apps on your phone.
If meditation's not your thing, don't sweat it. Try to find something to do that gets your mind off your worries.
Get enough rest, too. "I think sleep is a huge issue," Steinbaum says. "A lot of women sacrifice this major, major piece of living in favor of doing it all."
To get better Zzz's, start a bedtime ritual.
- Make a list of things on your mind, or keep a night journal. This helps unload your brain.
- Engage your senses. Feel the sheets, listen to the night sounds, and smell the air. This brings you into the present.
- Tense your toes, hold for 10 seconds, and release for 10. Do this cycle 10 times to relax your body.
Eat Right
"People should be trying to keep to more of a Mediterranean-style diet, which reduces heart-clogging saturated fats" and adds healthier ones, Ouyang says.
This means it's a good idea to eat lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans, and less red meat. Choose olive oil over butter and margarine, and eat more fish. If you like to drink alcohol, have small amounts of red wine.
"The other thing that would help people is [to] learn to cook and eat at home," Ouyang says. This can also help tighten the family bonds and trim the budget.
Get Real About Aging
In Western culture, we strive to look and feel young. But by the time people in the U.S. reach age 60, 50% will have heart problems, Steinbaum says.
How can you avoid them? First, learn about health issues in your background. "If you have [a] risk of heart disease in your family, you'll have to be extra vigilant and get started right now," she says.
Start checking your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, Ouyang advises. As you age, the good kinds of cholesterol in your body tend to go down. But the bad types slowly build up. Keep an eye on these things and you'll be better able to manage them.

Kudos to Joseph Pierro for his brilliant suggestion for those advocating more tax dollars for anything — period. It's time to put up or shut up.
The hypocrisy of the left is so easily exposed with such little effort.
The president himself talks incessantly about the rich paying just a little more, yet " Fair Share Obama " himself in 2010 took some $500,000 in itemized deductions.
Wealthy celebrities hold fundraisers for the president in between appointments with their tax attorneys who are setting up Land Conservation tax shelters to lower their own tax bite.
A modicum of effort is all that is required to educate oneself on political and or economic philosophies that cannot stand the light of day, let alone rigorous examination.
Turn off American Idol, and invest just a little of your spare time learning how the salvation of our nation depends on an informed citizenry.
I hope in the coming months The Local will report how many of these "under-taxed" citizens of Hanover send in a check.
Mr. Pierro did this county and all taxpaying citizens a great service exposing the hypocrisy.

I need to suppress an already set session cookie header, but I cannot find any way to do this.
I need to make an image, sent by a PHP script, cacheable by the end user; this image is used to track if a newsletter has been read by the receiver, so if the image is requested I know the newsletter has been read. I only need to know when the newsletter gets opened for the first time, the subsequent requests can be ignored. The problem is that, even if I properly set the Expire and Cache-Control headers, the image is requested every time the user opens the newsletter--only that image used for the tracking--basically because it's not cached by the user. I used this tool to understand why the URL is not cacheable, and it says because of the cookie sent.
What I want to avoid is the user seeing a delay on the load of the tracking image.
So I have a
session_start() in my website init function, that I don't want to remove, because the website is big and complicated, and making some radical change like starting the session only if needed (one of the solutions I envisioned) is not desirable. Calling
session_start() sets the
Set-Cookie: header with the
PHPSESSID cookie, and I need to remove it. Reading from the
header() page on php.net I tried setting it with an empty value like this
header('Set-Cookie:', true);
header('Set-Cookie: ');
header('Set-Cookie: ', true);
before and after a call to
session_write_close(), but all I obtained is that the user receives a
Set-Cookie: header, without any value, exactly as written in the
header function argument.
I must say I'm still using PHP 5.2, so I cannot use the
header_remove() function I see in the manual, and lighttpd 1.4.24.
EDIT: so, it seems the tool I used to check my headers is not that good. I looked at the headers with
curl --head and saw the headers below.
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.9
Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=qn3ms55nvst2717e7b73qqu445; path=/

Server: lighttpd/1.4.24
As you see it is set a
Pragma: no-cache. The tool I used said that the
Pragma header is not used, but it was wrong. I tried setting
Pragma: cache, and it made the mail client cache the image.
I made another discovery, maybe the impossibility of unsetting the
Set-Cookie header is because of lighttpd, since I cannot remove the
Pragma header using
header('Pragma:'). Looking forward to PHP 5.3. Can someone using Apache confirm that the above
header call removes the
Pragma header?
Thanks txyoji for the enlightening comment :-)
At this point it seems this question is here only to confirm lighttpd cannot remove headers by setting an header without value.

What a wonderful idea to create a picture tour of mural art in the city. Shows off a real positive side of the character of Milw. Love it!
Wow - 93 pictures and only one is graffiti-style. Believing that graffiti-style murals draw taggers to the work (and inspire them to leave their mark) doesn't mean you hate murals. Take a look on 2nd and Seeboth at the 3 taggers who left their mark near the True Skool mural. Look quick, though, because the owner will now have to pay out of pocket to get it cleaned up. See if that is one you'd like in your neighborhood - I just want it out of mine.
I bet if you painted a Green Bay Packer helmet on the side of a
building and asked for comments, this thread would explode with
feedback. This is a very slow process for Milwaukee with many
growing pains yet to come.
Believe there is a "Green Bay" piece on S. 35th St. west side just north of I-94 (~300 N.). Pub which may or may not still be in operation.
hey, none of this controversy about TRUE Skool's "street art" is as notorious as this LEGAL commissioned public "mural" (if you will). And yet, it hasn't been repainted, and the city keeps on movin' along as usual! http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2010/08/31/barry-mcgee-houston-street-mural/

kHTTPd, a Kernel-Based Web Server
Web servers have become an important part of today's infrastructure for business, trading, entertainment and information. Some of the Web's sites take millions of hits every day, or even every hour. It is only natural that computer science researchers soon began wondering how to make web servers faster, more resource-efficient and fail-safe.
The search for more speed triggered a whole new area of operating system theory research, that of execution path analysis. The author of this article, while a Ph.D. student, researched this topic at length studying the Apache server. One of the most interesting discoveries was that for static pages, more than 80 percent of the instructions are actually executed in kernel space (protected mode). This has some serious implications.
First, as we learned in the previous three columns, the only way to enter kernel space for a user program such as Apache is to execute a system call. System calls are expensive because they involve complex checks and search many kernel tables.
Also, switching from user space and back often flushes the on-processor TLB (Translation Lookaside Buffer) cache as well as primary and secondary cache entries.
As a consequence, Linux kernel developers realized that a kernel-based web server was needed. Such a kernel-space web server would not incur the costs involved in switching back and forth to and from protected mode.
Just such a kernel-space web server, called kHTTPd, was implemented in Linux kernel versions 2.3.x and 2.4. kHTTPd is different from other kernel web servers in that it runs from within the Linux kernel as a module (device driver).
kHTTPd handles only static (file-based) web pages, and passes all requests for non-static information to a regular user-space web server such as Apache or Zeus. Static web pages, while not complex to serve, are nevertheless very important. This is because virtually all images are static, as are a large portion of HTML pages. A "regular" web server adds little value for static pages; it is simply a "copy file to network" operation. The Linux kernel is very good at this; the NFS (network file system) dæmon, for example, also runs in the kernel.
"Accelerating" the simple case of serving static pages within the kernel leaves user-space dæmons free to do what they are very good at: generating user-specific, dynamic content. A user-space web server such as Apache, typically loaded with many features and many execution paths, can't be as fast as kHTTPd. There are, however, a few web servers that are as simple as kHTTPd but implemented in user space, so they are not expensive consumers of processor cycles, even compared with kHTTPd.
kHTTPd is very simple; it can't handle dynamic content. So, it proxies all requests for those directories you configure via the sysctl called "dynamic" to a fully functional user-space web server such as Apache. It's a global win, though, since most of the transfers of a common web server are images, which are definitely static.
kHTTPd is actually not much different from a normal http dæmon in principle. The main difference is that it bypasses the syscall layer. Normally, an http server contains code like this:
socket(..) bind(..) listen(..) accept(..)
and each call has to enter the kernel, look up kernel structures as function(s) of the parameter(s) passed, return information to user space, etc.
Being a kernel dæmon itself, kHTTPd interfaces directly with the internal kernel structures and system calls involved and so avoids the user-kernel interaction completely. Also, because it's a kernel dæmon, it avoids switch_mm and TLB flushes. Last but not least, it avoids all enter/exit kernel overhead.
There are not many data structures for kHTTPd. They are in net/kHTTPd/structure.h.
The first is a per-connection structure. The second is a per-kHTTPd-thread structure by which many http_requests can be queued.
Listing 1. /proc/sys/net/khttpd/structure.h
kHTTPd can be compiled as a loadable module, or linked statically into the kernel. Linking statically into the kernel will provide better performance, because it will be allocated in a more efficient and TLB-persistent page-table mapping.
Control of kHTTPD is performed via the /proc filesystem at /proc/sys/net/khttpd. Table 1 shows the sysctl parameters which can be set, along with a description of each (from the docs).

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The redevelopment of The Borough and Bankside, London SE1, has unearthed a wealth of archaeological treasures and lost histories.
On Redcross Way, a quiet back-street running parallel to Borough High Street, is a plot of land surrounded by London Underground hoardings. The large rusty iron gates are adorned with ivy, ribbons, flowers, feathers, jewellery and other curious totems – and a bronze plaque bearing the epitaph: 'R.I.P. The Outcast Dead'.
This is Cross Bones, a pauper's burial ground with a legend stretching back to medieval times.
Next time you're in The Borough, take a stroll down Redcross Way, the tranquil back-street running parallel to Borough High Street. Close to the junction with Union Street, you'll see a vacant plot of land, enclosed by London Underground boards on which someone has chalked a skull and crossbones and the words: "Touch For Love". The rusty iron gate is adorned with a bronze plaque, ivy, glittering ribbons, flowers, feathers and other curious totems.
In his 1598 Survey of London, the historian John Stow refers to a burial ground for 'single women' - a euphemism for the prostitutes who worked in Bankside's brothels or 'stews'. Stow writes:
'I have heard of ancient men, of good credit, report that these single women were forbidden the rites of the church, so long as they continued that sinful life, and were excluded from Christian burial,
if they were not reconciled before their death. And therefore there was a plot of ground called the Single Woman's churchyard, appointed for them far from the parish church.'
From the 12th to the 17th century, the Bishop of Winchester was effectively the Lord of a semi-autonomous manor, the Liberty of the Clink, in Southwark. His London residence, Winchester Palace, stood between the church, now Southwark Cathedral, and the Clink Prison. Many activities that were forbidden within the City walls were permitted and regulated within the Liberty. By Shakespeare's time, this stretch of the Bankside was firmly established as London's pleasure quarter, with theatres, bear-pits, taverns and brothels - the 'stews', licensed by the Bishop under Ordinances dating from 1161 and signed by Thomas Becket. In life, such women enjoyed a measure of protection from the church; in death, if John Stow is to be believed, they were denied even a Christian burial.
Parish registers of the time do not identify specific burial grounds, but a long-established tradition links this 'Single Women's churchyard' with the Cross Bones site. Such 'beyond the pale' burials would have taken place back in the 16th century, before Cross Bones' recorded use as a parish graveyard. Back then it lay within the Bishop's park-lands, beyond the settlements to the north and east. The Bishop had extensive personal land-holdings in the area and leased properties or areas of park-land to tenants. The lease for the Cross Bones ground passed through many hands before being eventually assigned to the churchwardens of St Saviour's parish in 1665. The date – the year of the Great Plague – lends some credence to another piece of Cross Bones lore: that it was once a plague pit.
The stews had been closed by royal proclamation in 1546, although within fifty years they had returned to Shakespeare's Bankside. Such houses were finally closed in the late 1640s, along with the theatres and bear-pits, and Bankside's fortunes went into decline. By the 19th century, the story of Cross Bones was deeply entrenched in local folk-lore. In 1833, the antiquarian William Taylor wrote:
'There is an unconsecrated burial ground known as the Cross Bones at the corner of Redcross Street, formerly called the Single Woman's burial ground, which is said to have been used for this purpose
By then, Redcross Way was an overcrowded, cholera-infested slum. When Charles Booth was conducting his survey of London poverty, his researcher George Duckworth described it as:
...a set of courts and small streets which for number, viciousness, poverty and crowding, is unrivalled in anything I have
hitherto seen in London.'
Duckworth walked around The Mint with a policeman who told him: 'Police don't go down here unless they have to, and never singly.' During this period, Cross Bones witnessed many a pauper's burial. It was also the haunt of body-snatchers, seeking specimens for the anatomy classes at nearby Guy's Hospital.
As early as 1831, concerns were being raised about the condition of the graveyard. Following petitions from a Mrs Gwilt, reports by the Board of Health and, finally, an order from Lord Palmerston, Cross Bones was closed in 1853, on the grounds that it was 'completely overcharged with dead' and that 'further burials' would be 'inconsistent with a due regard for the public health and public decency'. In 1883, it was sold as a building site, prompting Lord Brabazon to write:
with a view to save this ground from such desecration, and to retain it as an open space for the use and enjoyment of the people.' (10th November 1883)
The following year the sale was declared null and void, under the Disused Burial Grounds Act (1884). Subsequent attempts to develop the site were resisted by local people. The land was briefly used as a fair-ground: ' until an action was taken against the showmen for abatement of the nuisance caused by steam organs and noisy music'.
Aside from such minor intrusions, the graveyard was vacant land for the best part of a century. Then, in the 1990s, London Underground built an electricity sub-station for the Jubilee Line Extension. Prior to the work, Museum of London archaeologists conducted a partial excavation, removing some 148 skeletons. By their own estimate, these represented: 'less than 1% of the total number of burials that were made at this site.'
Some were exhibited at the Museum's 1998 London Bodies exhibition, including:
' a young woman's syphilitic skull with multiple erosive lesions, from Red Cross Way, Southwark, 18th century'.'
Subsequent forensic tests revealed that the woman was 4ft 7in tall, aged 16-19, and that the disease was already well 'advanced'. The 2010 BBC documentary 'Crossbones Girl' reconstructed the quest for the identity of this young woman, most likely a child prostitute. More than 60% of the skeletons found at Cross Bones were those of children.
The 1999 publication of the MoLAS report on the Cross Bones Burial Ground coincided with the publication of The Southwark Mysteries, my cycle of poems and Mystery Plays inspired by the spirit of a Winchester Goose at Cross Bones:
For the Whore that lay at The Tabard
And well we know how the carrion crow
Doth feast in our Cross Bones Graveyard.
Only after writing these words, on the night of 23rd November 1996, did I discover that Cross Bones was an actual historical place - and that London Underground had just dug it up! It was as if I'd tapped into what was happening in my own back-yard: had somehow channelled the spirit of The Goose.
The work has been performed, in full, in Shakespeare's Globe and Southwark Cathedral, in 2000 and again in 2010, and has featured in many site-specific performances and rituals conducted at the graveyard. The rituals are simple, inclusive and non-dogmatic, emphasising respect for 'the Ancestors', and honouring the spirit of this particular place. The Halloween of Cross Bones has been observed every Halloween night since 1998, with hundreds of people making the candlelit procession to the gates, to honour the 'outcast dead' with candles, ribbons, songs and offerings. By another curious stroke of synchronicity, the first Halloween of Cross Bones coincided with the first exhibition of the Cross Bones skeletons at the Museum of London.
Over the past decade, the iron gates in Redcross Way have been transformed into a people's shrine, a living communal art-work. People of all faiths and none have left messages and mementoes, testifying to its power as a truly inclusive sacred place, dedicated to a vision of a shared humanity. Since 2004, an informal Friends of Cross Bones group has held a 7pm vigil at the gates in Redcross Way on the 23rd day of each month. People come from all walks of life to 'remember the outcast' and to replenish the spontaneous shrine with fresh flowers and other tokens. The Cross Bones shrine is especially relevant to 'outsiders', though it speaks to a much wider group of supporters. People of all faiths and none, local residents and international visitors regularly gather for the monthly vigils to participate in a truly inclusive act of respect and remembrance.
A range of traditional festivals are celebrated here. The Lion's Part end their annual October Plenty festival with a procession to the Cross Bones gates, where the Green Man blesses the garden. On St George's Day, 23rd April 2007, a ceremony was conducted on the graveyard site, which was cleaned of rubbish and the seeds of a wild garden sown. This garden flourished under the care of an 'Invisible Gardener', one of many mysterious characters associated with Cross Bones. On St George's Day, 23rd April 2009, a large crowd gathered to hear London Assembly Member Val Shawcross and the then Southwark Council leader Nick Stanton pledge their support for the protection of Cross Bones as an important heritage site.
The shrine at the gates already attracts over 50,000 visitors a year; it features in many guidebooks, on guided tours and in television coverage of the vigils held by local people. Friends of Crossbones have campaigned to protect the shrine at the gates on Redcross Way and the burial ground as a community garden, local park, heritage site and visitor attraction - the Cross Bones Garden of Remembrance.The importance of protecting the graveyard was made explicit in a 2008 question from Valerie Shawcross AM to London Mayor Boris Johnson.
London Assembly Question No: 1938 / 2008 Cross Bones Graveyard - SE1
Valerie Shawcross AM (Lambeth & Southwark, Chair of Transport Committee): TfL own a very interesting piece of history in Redcross Way SE1 - Cross Bones Graveyard, an un-consecrated medieval graveyard for prostitutes. The land is currently enclosed in London Underground boards, but has a gate with a bronze plaque describing its history. As Chair of TfL can the Mayor ensure that Officers of TfL contact the Friends of Cross Bones Graveyard and start a discussion with them to protect this piece of London's more interesting past?
The Mayor (Boris Johnson): The site is to be used as a Thameslink 2000 project works site between now and 2015. Future development plans have yet to be worked up but will be prepared recognising the archaeological interest of this site. This will include consultation with all parties with an interest in the site.
Ms. Shawcross also wrote to Peter Hendy (Commissioner of Transport, TFL) expressing her 'long-term concern [...] for the future of Cross Bones Graveyard [...] I would hope to see the planning brief for any future development on the site make some accomodation for the graveyard [...] perhaps a piece of public realm garden and a memorial... where visitors can be taken to pay respects and hear the story in full... It is extremely important that the Cross Bones Graveyard is recognised within that future development and some space allocated for public access and appreciation.'
In reply to her follow-up question in 2011, The Mayor stated: 'I am aware of this issue and recognise the cultural and historic importance of the Crossbones burial ground. The Deputy Mayor for Transport is discussing this issue with Transport for London (TfL)' Valerie Shawcross attended the St George at Cross Bones vigil on 23 April 2009, and returned on International Woman's Day 2015, to express her support for the Garden of Remembrance. In May 2016 London Mayor Sadiq Khan appointed her Deputy Mayor of Transport and Deputy Chair of Transport for London. .
Southwark Council's Community Project Bank has pledged £100,000 towards the eventual creation of a Cross Bones Memorial Garden. For the latest on the future of Crossbones see

I am struggling with an ios7 / objective-c issue that hopefully someone will be able to help me with.
As some background, I have an app that is rendering as expected on io6 devices, but I trying to bring it into compliance with ios7.
Where things have gotten confusing is the fact that my code is working as expected on the iPhone but it is not on the iPad.
From the images below you will see that the status bar (carrier, time, battery) renders as expected on the iPhone but not the iPad:
(note: due to this being my first posting, I can't directly embed the images, sorry about that).
From the coding point of view, I have tried all the suggestions indicated at: How to change Status Bar text color in iOS 7 without any luck.
What I do have that makes the App render as expected is the following definition in my AppDeligate.
// News page
newsViewController = [[NewsViewController alloc] init];
newsNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:newsViewController];
newsNavigationController.navigationBar.translucent = NO;
newsNavigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
newsNavigationController.navigationBar.tag = 4013;
Now I think that issue is that even though I have set the bar style to
UIStatusBarStyleLightContent, which should put the text in white, it is not doing this on the iPad. Instead it renders as black on black.
This seems to be the case, because if I remove the line:
newsNavigationController.navigationBar.translucent = NO;
the black changes to a dark gray, and the carrier, date, battery, can be seen BUT in the black. I am willing to live with the dark gray vs the black background, but the status bar items will need to render in white like the iphone.
Any suggestions?
P.S. I am not sure if this will help point things in the right direction, but the iPad is using a splitview controller.

April 13, 2006 -- Middle-aged, heavy women may be more likely to snore -- or at least, to admit it.
Among women, those in their 50s and those with higher BMI (body mass index) are most likely to report habitual snoring, researchers report in the journal Chest.
The finding comes from a study of about 6,800 women living in Uppsala, Sweden. The women, who were at least 20 years old, took surveys about snoring, age, weight, height, waist and neck circumference, smoking, hormonal status, and alcohol use.
The researchers -- who work at Sweden's Uppsala University -- studied snoring because habitual snoring is a major symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In people with OSA, breathing stops momentarily during sleep.
Untreated obstructive sleep apnea is potentially life-threatening and increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. However, snoring is usually not a serious problem.
Snoring Study
Malin Svensson, MD, and colleagues mailed surveys to more than 10,000 women. Each woman also got a tape measure to measure their neck and waist.
The surveys, which included 109 questions, showed that nearly 8% of the women reported being habitual snorers. That percentage peaked at 14% among women in their 50s.
Less than 3% of women in their 20s reported habitual snoring. Women age 60 and older were less likely to report habitual snoring than women in their 50s, the study shows.
The researchers also calculated the women's BMI, based on self-reported height and weight. They found that women with high BMI were more likely to report being habitual snorers.
"The prevalence of self-reported habitual snoring was strongly dependent on age and BMI," Svensson's team writes.
Alcohol, Inactivity
Experts already know that drinking alcohol and being overweight can boost snoring risk. Svensson's study adds more detail to those factors in women.
For instance, very lean women (BMI less than 20) were more likely to report being habitual snorers if they were dependent upon alcohol. Four questions on the survey gauged alcohol dependence.
Few women in the study had low BMIs, so the researchers suggest using caution in interpreting those findings.
Obese women (BMI of at least 30) were more likely to report habitual snoring if they also reported getting little physical activity in their leisure time. The influence of alcohol dependence faded as women's BMI rose, the study shows.
